Arlington Spy Pond property seeks to get around conservation and zoning rules

Arlington Spy Pond property seeks to get around conservation and zoning rules. 

Some of you have been following the doings at 47 Spy Pond Lane.  The current owner wants to sell it to a developer who wants to subdivide and build two large homes that just happen to intrude well into the 100 foot protection zone.  The developer seeks to obtain a zoning/conservation easement, to go around the rules governing construction by Spy Pond and in this neighborhood.

The hearings have dragged on for many months, in part because the developer's project plans have not complied with  the Commission.  The next hearing is for this coming Thursday (July 11, 2019) at 7:30pm at the Senior Center, Main Room - 1st floor (27 Maple Street)

ARFRR has written a letter regarding this continuing situation (click here to read it) and encourages Arlingtonians to take interest in the matter.

YourArlington.com has been covering this long-running issue.  You can read their latest story on it here.
